Who says gaming doesn't pay?
They do say to invest in what you know.
And it didn't take long after i started playing this game (still playing it) to know.

The graph is rather linear. Something which economic life and geo-politics is not.
On a linear scale, i would put China at 4 and America at 15, chasing 16 hard.
America will topple, probably sooner than later, and replaced by? Perhaps China. IF
For this type of discussion, 'sooner' can be decades.

So, picking some arbitrary measure they call a "record" for clickbait.
Not as if there is any real effort or achievement in having a really long Lego model.

In the U.S., that works out to about 7 or 8 ounces for every man, woman, and child.
Not very much, actually. Certainly, an extremely small fraction of owned or available wealth (house, car, checking & savings, credit, etc.). Meanwhile, every man, woman, and child's share of the national debt is around $115,000.00

Most gold is left in the ground Just like Diamonds are artificially kept valuable by not mining them.
